Why Does It Always Rain On The Fourth Of July? Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

Why Does It Always Rain On The Fourth Of July?



Why does it always rain on the Fourth of July?

****

I don't know, so tell me why?
Why does it always rain on the fourth of July?

Why do I miss the golden sunsets
Though I watch with baited eye?
Why can't I be in the right place
To see the eagle majestically fly?
Why do I miss the shooting star
As it lights up a purple sky?
Why can't I be the first
To hear a new born baby cry?

I don't know, so tell me why?
Why does it always rain on the fourth of July?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I was in the doctors office making small talk with the nurse. She had heard that rain was predicted in our area on the Fourth of July. She blurted out, 'Why does it always rain on the Fourth of July? '
I said, 'That sounds poetic, ' and thanked her. Today, being the Fourth I finally had time to write this down. I hope you enjoy and have good weather to celebrate our freedom. God bless you! Loyd
